Tom Petty, the dynamic and iconoclastic frontman who led the band the Heartbreakers, died Monday. He was found unconscious, not breathing and in full cardiac arrest at his Malibu home Sunday night, according to TMZ, and rushed to the hospital and placed on life support. EMTs were able to find a pulse when they found him, but TMZ reported that the hospital found no brain activity when he arrived. A decision was made to pull life support. CBS confirmed Petty's death. He was 66.

Tom Petty was incorrectly reported dead because CBS reported the wrong information. I do not see how he can pull through this being rain dead from a likely massive heart attack. Let the sounds of the Heartbreakers tunes play as a vigil for him in hopes he can pull through nonethless. Petty was so close to pulling the curtain on his character and enjoying the twilight of his life. Such a shame.

Personally, I think social media is one of the absolute worst places to get news. Most people seem to not be able to tell the difference between a legit source/news site and satire/conspiracy theory/“fake” news. At least main stream news has an editing process. It isn’t perfect (CBS dropped the ball big time here) but its way better if you can learn to take it with a grain of salt and curious mind.
